The Hill: Biden administration criticized over report that it is not extending home confinement for prisoners

“If it happens, we can’t mince words: it will mean that Mr. Biden will be ordering one of the largest reincarceration events in American history, with no safety reason to back up his action,” Holly Harris, the president and executive director of Justice Action Network, said in response to the Times report.

“We took President Biden at his word that he wanted to reduce mass incarceration, but this choice, to send thousands back to prison, would be doubling down on the worst parts of his legacy,” Harris added. “It’s time for President Biden to keep his promise, and keep these people home.”
